Moulds yet again

Can you make moulds out of corian

I have used it to make a mould to pour in the Silicone mould making rubber ..

Sorry Derek, what i did was make a mould from wood, and used the corian to form the depth .. See it here the finished mould is on the next page of the link ..

I have seen them on here Derek. I think it might have been Peter (Buckeye) who made them

I used corian as the box to pour the mould material into (vinamold in my case) and corian to make the formers. I think the resin would stick to corian if it was used as the mould, but I haven't tried it, if you do let us know how it works.

I spoke to one of the suppliers of the resin and he said that it would not stick to plastic so is corian a plastic or classed as another type of material. Hopefully will be ordering the resin tomorrow sp watch out for the blue cloud over kent when it all goes pear shaped

I would say corian is a plastic, but there are different grades and types of plastic HDPE is a plastic and you should be fine with that and resin some plastic containers are okay with resin and some get dissolved by resin. If the supplier thinks it will work go for it, it will be interesting to find out. It would save a lot of messing about, I still don't think it would work.

There you go Derek, two who use corian as moulds, if I didn't already have moulds I might have tried it, let us know how it goes.
